Kepa Software

Kepa has developed our Advanced Portfolio Optimisation (APO) software suite.
APO is designed to produce strategically aligned, statistically defendable yet pragmatic prioritisation of capital investments.
APO is developed in Australia by our founder, Ken Garrard, who has many decades of experience in managing billion-dollar portfolios.
APO delivers significant ROI to stakeholders, so far ranging from 400% to13,500%.
ROI of this magnitude could help improve finances, provide tighter control of spending and help limit cost over runs. A recent project on the mainland managed 2,000 investments with over 400 value measures, 260 of them customer outcomes, and another returned the 13,500% ROI.
APO has helped CEO’s, CFO’s, COO’s, CIO’s and consultants in several businesses and Government departments to:
  • Optimise and prioritise capital investment portfolios across multiple business entities in an unlimited investment hierarchy
  • Prioritise capital investments of each department or business (or in clusters) in sub portfolios, such as business transformation, asset maintenance, and procurement or manage the totality of capital investment of State, departmental, business and cluster as a single portfolio.
  • Prioritise the portfolio based on any complex hierarchy of business value drivers, including financial, risk, safety, reputation etc, absolutely ensuring 100% strategic alignment
  • More than meet the requirements, and withstand the impact of legislation such as the Right to Information Act 2009
  • Provide data-driven, irrefutable, and compelling evidence of the importance and demand for capital across the whole of State government, or individual departments, businesses or clusters regardless of the business unit structure modelled in APO.
  • Prioritise the portfolio according to your existing business objectives, pillars and future values
  • Utilise existing investment data to produce almost instant verifiable results while maturing systems, processes and capability to move towards a single portfolio view of capital expenditure managed by a single rigorous, and repeatable governance process if that is a business requirement
  • Prioritise customer outcomes, if that is appropriate
  • Prioritise ESG impacts and sustainability reporting in any recognised reporting framework
  • Analyse and report on the impacts on the portfolio by any key stakeholders or stakeholder groups, including the executive, service providers, impacted constituents, and the public in general
  • Enable “what if” scenario modelling to determine the range of possible outcomes and the most likely outcome, enabling data-driven decisions to accelerate or stop initiatives
  • Enable real-time, data driven, and statistically defendable decisions rather than repeated revisions that are required using spreadsheets that are reactive and quickly dated.
